Christmas: Second Generation Cheap Christmas BEST GIFT EVER!!!

Last year I wrote about a gift we made for our Children one Christmas when we had no extra money for gifts. The Christmas that Almost Wasn't

_{The above 'playhouse' was HUGE and it was 20 years ago when our first four kids were little (and the last one wasn't born yet! :)}

This year, I decided to do a smaller version with my grandsons. It has been a HUGE hit with them. It's been a month and a half now and they still play in their little house for hours every week when they come over. They got the addition of cheap, after Christmas string lights to light their tunnel and that has made all the difference in the world!

_{This project took three visits to get together. First there was painting, then there was building, then cutting doors/windows and putting in lights!}

_{The boys, especially the older one (age 4) LOVES doing anything with Grandpa Patrick. He thrives on helping out Grandpa. It's really sweet.}
